What are recommendations for use of rsyslog with loadbalancers? We
have setup where number of machines run rsyslog and forward syslog
messages to central location using RELP protocol (using omrelp module).
The central location is a load balancer with cluster of machines behind
it (that run rsyslog and use imrelp).
I assume this is not an uncommon scenario so hoping that there is a way
to do this in a way that does load balancing.
The problem is that TCP connection stays open for a long time so there
is effectively no load balancing done. Looking for a solution I found
http://www.rsyslog.com/load-balancing-for-rsyslog/ which mentions
RebindInterval which is documented in omfwd docs
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omfwd.html
However I don't see RebindInterval in omrelp docs
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omrelp.html and when I try to use it rsyslog
segfaults (in relpCltHintBurstEnd in librelp.so.0, also sent email
specifically about that).
Should RebindInterval work for omrelp? Or is there some other way to
re-open TCP connection so that load balancing works?
Thanks!
